    The P5B, along with other P965 chipset motherboards, has been kinda picky with RAM, so you may want to hit Asus website for recommended DDR2 modules just to be sure. Kingston is a pretty good brand though.

    Otherwise, it really looks good to go. I think you'll be pleased with your purchase.
